Bravo c'est formidable un escroc dans l immobilier M. SOUSSANA Patrick qui n'a pas hésité à mettre des familles en grande précarité pour des programmes immobiliers non terminés c'est honteux que cette personne puisse vivre tranquillement en SUISSE et ouvrir des galeries. Grâce à son escroquerie moi et d'autres familles remboursons encore un crédit. C'est insupportable. Cathy P

A picture of the remains of our beloved Chalet Flora … could not paste foto

I have just come across this website feed while searching for a photo of Chalet Flora. Fascinating! I was a pupil for two years ages 9-11 in 1962-4. Apart from dire homesickness I do have good memories too. Skiing and skating and walking was wonderful and learning to knit. Learning French has served me in later life and learning to cope standing on my own feet in challenging situations. That said I would not wish the negatives imposed on any child - all those experiences so well described by others here, were definitely damaging and remain painful to this day. If anyone else from those years reads this they will remember two people that I am still in contact with: Werner Leitz and Justine Kasa Vubu. I have snapshots of those years if anyone is curious and am happy to share by email. Warmly a fellow pupil xx

This saddens me deeply as my heart lies bleeding for the loss of such a kind and gentle soul.

I'm an Ohio relative of Franziska's late husband, Ulrich Haldi, a grandson of one of Ulrich's cousins who emigrated to a small Swiss settlement in Ohio back in the 1870s near Canton Ohio. I had the pleasure to meet Franziska and spend time with her in the late 1990s when I was working in Paris, and she showed me around Saanen while trying to help me locate the chalet where my grandfather Frederich Haldi was born. My grandfather left Saanen as a 13-year-old Ziegenhirt and died in Ohio as a 76-year-old, prosperous wholesale cheese dealer, as many of the Swiss-American immigrants were in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Fortunately, Franziska and I were able to locate the Haldi-Matti chalet, a chalet built in 1666 that is located on the north side of the Oeystr. near where the train tracks cross the road by the airport. The old-timers in that area told me the area was called "ins Siberia' because the winter sun was often blocked by the Rueblihorn. Franziska was such a delightfully gifted, personable, and giving person. She willingly shared with me many of her wonderful memories of her years with Yehudi Menuhin -- whom she revered so highly -- as well as delightful aspects of Haldi-history in the Saanenland, many fascinating details that I could share with Haldi relatives back in Ohio. It was such a privilege to get to meet her and spend time with her in Saanen up on the 'Halten.' My sincerest condolences to her family in magnificent Saanenland and in Bern. A wonderful, wonderful lady, indeed, was Franziska Haldi! Richard Haldi / Canton, Ohio Sept. 2024

I worked for this man in 1997 at the Palace and it was one of the best experience of my life. I will always be thankful to have crossed path with such a gentleman. May he rest in peace Roberto Manfè

Great that Le Rosey expands, but what a pity that visitors arriving by train will be “welcomed” by such industrial appearing building, not in the chalet style like the rest of the iconic village.
